Pros

Very collaborative environment. Most every manager, even VP, has an open-door policy regarding any issue that may arise, which leads to good, open dialogue among the leadership team and the individual contributors.

Cons

Due to rapid growth there have been several realignment/reorganizations over the last year+, which is a good problem to have but also is disruptive for those of us who have been here a while.

Pros

F5 provides great benefits and people generally have good work-life balance. They are in a solid technical field with an interesting product lineup. It's one of the few companies that help put Seattle on the map in the tech world.

Cons

Turf wars from low-level management on up, across the entire organization which makes a very exhausting and disappointing environment.

Pros

Traffic handling code is amongst the most mature and interesting in the business. Lots of latitude to work on what interests you. Smart and hard working dev team, but you're not expected work yourself to the bone.

Cons

Project planning is still maturing as the company has been growing a lot recently. Some of the internal systems and infrastructure are not supported well enough and can become a hindrance by slowing down constantly.
